Which makes sense, if you want some standards across contributions. Setting aside that agent assisted contribution itself is questionable, as long as it is happening, a universal agents file is probably helpful.

I don’t get why agents.MD needs to be committed. It feels a bit like committing IDE settings, everyone is going to have slightly different preferences, so its better to just have everyone do their own thing. If anything, I prefer to .gitignore itso it doesnt get accidentally committed.

For agents (semi-autonomous) I think it’s more similar to introductory developer docs. Which are usually committed.

I get that analogy. However, I would heirarchaically place the agents as subordinates to the developer, which is why I would expect each developer to institute their own customised agents.md file, rather than it being dictated from the repo, which is a level removed.
